Chords for Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto (Official Lyric Video)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As the snow flies, _ _ _ on [Dm] a cold and gray Chicago morning, [Eb] a poor little baby [F] child is born [Bb] in the ghetto.
_ _ In the ghetto. _ _
And his mama cried. _ _ _ _
[Dm] Cause if there's one thing she don't [Eb] need, it's another [F] hungry mouth to feed [Bb] in the ghetto.
_ In the ghetto. _
[Eb] [F] People, don't you understand, the [Eb] child needs an [Bb] helping hand.
[Eb] He'll grow to [F] be an angry young [Bb] man someday. _
[F] Take a look at you and me, are [Eb] we too blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we [Dm] simply turn our heads [Cm] and look the other [F] way?
_ Well, [Bb] the [Gm] world _ [Bb] turns.
And _ [Dm] a hungry little boy with a runny [Eb] nose plays in the street [F] as the cold wind [Bb] blows in the ghetto. _
In the ghetto.
_ And his hunger burns.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] So he starts to roam the streets at [Eb] night and he learns how to [F] steal and he learns how to [Bb] fight in the ghetto. _
_ _ _ _ [F] Then one night in desperation, [Eb] the young man [Bb] breaks away.
[Eb] He buys a gun [Dm] and he steals a [Cm] car, tries to [F] run but he don't get far and [Bb] his mama [Gm] cried.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] As the crowd gathers round, an angry young [Eb] man facedown in the [F] street with a gun in his [Bb] hand in the ghetto.
_ _ _ _ _ And as her young man died.
In the ghetto.
_ [Dm] On a cold and grey Chicago morning, [Eb] another little baby [F] child is born [Bb] in the ghetto.
_ _ In the ghetto.
And his mama [Eb] cried.
[Bb] In the ghetto.
